Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Heidelberg is among Germany’s most visited towns. The university city is home to the famous 13th century Heidelberg Castle. Partially in ruins, and partially rebuilt after being demolished in the 1600’s, the castle is among the most important examples of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Tours are available of the castle and the extensive surrounding gardens. Step in to any of the historic churches, whose spires line the Heidelberg skyline. Annual events include the Heidelberg Christmas market, autumn’s Heidelberger Herbst craft market, and the Castle Illuminations which takes place three times yearly, lighting the castle with fireworks and spotlights.
